While this happens, most of the people you see on the side of
the street where the policemen are are "peregrinos" (pilgrims)
that came to attend the visit of the Pope. They're all around the
city, and they usually carry flags and those orange bags which
were given to them.

When the policeman sees the flashes, he runs to them and
starts hitting him. According to his blog, he hits him and says
"GIVE ME YOUR FUCKING CAMERA". Another policeman crosses the
street too, maybe to get another one who is recording. "Fuck off"
can be heard, and then "Vete, vete, corre!" ("Go away, go away,
run".

The man approaches the photographer and says he's got
everything recorded, he says he's been hit on his neck and left
unconscious. "They're following anyone who was protesting and
hitting them, one by one".. "oh, crap, but what about a CAMERA?
PRESS?"

So, this is what the girl did. Saying they were violent
bastards, and I guess the policemen proved her right.

There have been more police violency stories, not only from
the police but from thepilgrimsto
the protesting people. The day of the authorized anti-JMJ funding
protest, pilgrims were blocking the ways that where authorized to
the protest to try to stop it. The police did nothing to prevent
the pilgrims to confront the protestors... but they finally
violently hit the protestors.

The incident appears to happen last night near Puerta del Sol, also
birthplace of Spain's widespread
"indignant" protests.
